New Quilt Blocks

A really nice weekend here. A combination of time with extended family Friday night and Sunday night and a Saturday with next to nothing on the calendar (SO rare) made for a perfect combination. Since our Saturday was not as crazy as usual, I forced myself to get out into the yard and clip back all my dying flowers (I’m so sick of yard work by this time of year.) But that evening I also had time to work on tidying-up my sewing room (made even better by watching Anne of Green Gables with my 11-yr-old) and catching up on some quilt blocks.

And here they are so far. The blocks have a finished measurement of 8″. Tomorrow block 13 will be divulged and then next month Jackie will share her assembly of all the blocks. I love seeing the different versions of the same block – it’s cool to see the different personalities they assume, depending on the fabrics, colors, etc. One of my favorite parts of quilting – the endless possibilities.

It sounds like you had a perfect weekend.<br />It is finally cooling enough that I can work on our property.<br />It seems I spend every waken moment out there. :0)<br />Your blocks are so sweet. I love your color combinations!!<br />Have a great week. Love ya! Trish<br />ps. Anne of Green Gables is one of my very favorite movies!!<br />Since my middle name is spelled &quot;Anne&quot;, Woody

These are just beautiful, love the different blocks, the lovely fabrics and how you&#39;ve combinded them. I agree about the yard work…hard to stay motivated, especially now that the leaves have started to drift down over everything…much more fun to make quilt blocks!
